India. Dir. Bauddhayan Mukherji. 2015, 72 mins. DCP. North American premiere. In Hindi with English subtitles. With Ritwick Chakraborty, Adil Hussain, Nayani Dixit, Sonam Stobgais. A chance encounter sets a musician on a surprising journey of self-discovery in this mesmerizing tale of art and destiny. Bengali actor Ritwick Chakraborty stars as a struggling Mumbai violinist who barely scrapes by working gigs as a Bollywood session player.

By turns funny and poignant, The Violin Player conjures a quietly gripping air of mystery as it builds towards its soul-shaking denouement.
